I'm far from an expert here, but I believe the underlying model here is
that a line at a time in/out of the subordinate command (in this case
picolisp) is the smallest unit of exchange to Acme.
Tell me some details about the environment where you're running
picolisp/acme (OS/architecture/versions of picolisp and acme) and I can try
this out on my side.
